2. Both schools are likely to say that they are better, but there's practically no diff between local students, you won't be disadvantaged greatly either way.

3. A high % end up working in a non-law field, the attrition rate means that less people stay in law than ppl who leave for another industry.

4. For a newly qualified lawyer, the really bad small Chinatown firms pay around 4k, the better small or midsizes pay 5-6k, the b4 now pays around 7.5k.

5. Comp science is oversaturated and has alot of CECA (and foreign) competition. I guess if you're the cream of the crop, you can go to FAANG jobs and earn more, but in general a normal lawyer will still beat a comp sciencer.
